Just in time for the holidays, readers will be able to download Lisa Kleypas’s classic Christmas novella, I WILL, for the first time in electronic format—and including a teaser to the highly anticipated Devil in Spring. Originally published in the 2001 Wish List anthology, I WILL features Andrew, Lord Drake, from Kleypas’s New York Times bestselling novel Because You’re Mine. One of the author’s most enigmatic characters, Lord Drake first appeared as an antagonist—a wastrel with no desire to settle down—but I WILL is the story of his redemption in the hands of his best friend’s spinster sister. Readers old and new will delight in this charming novella in a brand new format.

About I WILL

Andrew, Lord Drake, has been cut out of his father’s will because of his dissolute manner of living. To be reinstated, Andrew decides to pretend that he has changed his wicked ways.

As part of his plan, he wants to convince his father that he is courting a respectable woman with the intention of marrying her. The problem is, he doesn’t know any decent women, except for his friend’s spinster sister, Miss Caroline Hargreaves. He blackmails the reluctant Caroline into helping him, and so the charade begins . . .
